B. C. 55.

“The next morning, hr treacherous and hypocritical as ever, a large company of Germans, which Included all the principal and senior men, came to his quarters, with a double object —to clear themselves (so they alleged) for engaging tn a battle the day before contrary to the agreement and to their own request therein, and also by deceit to get what they could in respect of the truce.” This is not an extract from an account of current happenings in Russia between that country and Germany. It Is from Caesar’s history of his dealings with certain German tribes in the year 55 B. C. Replying to the spokesman of these Germans (who had crossed the Rhine to invade Gaul) the narrative reads: “To this Caesar replied as seemed good; but the conclusion of his speech was as follows: He could have no friendship with them' if they remained In Gaul.” These extracts from a famous book are commended to the attention of powers that be. —From the Outlook.’
